Subject: Baptism-What Does the Bible Teach? |
Bible Note: Hank, Maybe I better get my glasses updated so I can "read in between the lines better":-) In understanding the Essential Doctrines of the Christian faith, I could have sworn that Salvation is by grace through faith (1 Tim. 1:9). Without any disrespect meant to our brother, but "better safe than sorry" is NOT an essential doctrine, teaching, etc. Its' my belief that God said what He meant, and meant what He said- in no uncertain terms! Such a statement conveys a wishy-washy faith! I want no part of that, sorry. "These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life." Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
